Hi everyone, I've read around places that changing our diet can help with MM when you're in treatment. Has anyone tried anything? I'm not sure where to start and if it actually helps. I'm obviously not expecting it to cure me, but if it could help me to feel better I'd be all over it!

Thanks and stay well!

Hello @Margiella‍‍, thank you for opening this discussion! Let me tag some other members who can possibly share with you!

Hello everyone, have you heard of a recommended diet for multiple myeloma? Have you modified or adapted your diet at all since you were diagnosed? Have you started to eat new foods or have you stopped eating others? Has it helped you to feel better?

@Betio68 Ugh, yes that happens to me too. Sometimes I'm even too nauseous to eat anything, but I know I have to eat to keep my strength up. For now I've been making a lot of smoothies and trying to cram as many nutrients in there as I can

I completely understand as I don’t have anyone to talk to also. I’m a widow & I live alone. My oldest son died in 2021 & my youngest son & his family live 3 hours. My father is dead & my mother has chronic back pain & is immobile. My younger sister lives with our mother & she is going through a divorce from her husband who abandoned her. My sister doesn’t visit me, help me, call me & rarely texts me. I have various cousins, a niece & nephew that are spread out in nearby states but are hours away from me. After I told my friends I had cancer, they quit contacting me. I have learned how to be my own care giver. It has been very difficult. I’ll admit I’ve been depressed, cried a lot, felt sorry for myself but I never gave up. I prayed & read my Bible everyday. Then I found cancer groups online like this one where I could share what I was going through & got empathetic responses. That really kept me going. I hope you find someone to talk to but I highly recommend the online cancer chat groups.
